Fog Catcher is our flagship estate Bordeaux blend, named for the cool, grey banks of fog that drift over our vineyards in the early morning. The 2016 vintage is a co-ferment of our best block of Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot with Malbec and Carménère blended in. This is a wine built to age, and eight years after its release this wine is in its peak drinking window and would be a perfect addition to your Holiday tables this year.
In 2016 we we hand-harvested and fermented each varietal and aged the wines in barrel for a year. We then tasted each and selected the top 30 barrels to compose the final blend. The wine was returned to French oak barrels and aged for a total of 29 months. This wine is a harmonious blend of intriguing spices, notes of black currant, licorice, plum and violet followed by expansive tannins that linger on your palate for minutes after drinking.
